Amusements.
NEW NATIONAL THEATER.-The regular season
opened at the New National Theater last night
under most favorable auspices. Every seat In the
house was filled and nearly all the standing room
Ministries never gave a better performance, and
the continued laughter and frequent applause
OF the audience fully attested their satisfaction
and enjoyment The appearance of the singers
and musicians In white faces is a happy innOva-
ton, and the rlch costumes worn In the first part
as well as the arrangement OF scenery was very
effective. George Thatcher furnished an immense
amount OF fun himself, and he has surrounded
himself with corps OF y0cali5tS, comedians and
dancers, who, Ia their especial departments, can
not be excelled- Many OF their acts entirely
new, very few OF the jokes are aged, and alto
sether the performance Is the most enjoyable that
has been witnessed in years.

Messed the first presentation In this city Of the
IRENE" at Albaugh'S opera House last night, and
NJ the performance. The story IS told In the pro-
lOgue, and the incidents OF the piece afford oppOr-
tunity for striking situations and strong acting.
Mr.. VIM. Redmund In the title role was easy and
graceful in manner. and at times displayed con-
siderable power. Mrs Thomas Barry, an actress
OF long experience, gave a forceful and effective
representation OF the Duchess. The supporting
company was fair. The Introduction of ballet and
specialtleS seems Inconsistent with the motive of
the play, but they were well received. The piece
Is handsomely staged
